Early afternoon my belly was calling for a big snack. I decided to go the smoothie route because I could add more and more cereal until I felt like an umpa-loompa. 
Do they totally creep anyone else out? I don’t know if I’ve seen the original Willy Wonka, but I will have nightmares from this pic alone.
Snack bonus: I used my new Minnie Mouse bowl! I guess today is Disney themed all around 
Today was a hungry day for some reason and I added more cereal after I was done with this. Luckily, there are free refills at RER Café.
Because of our Vegas escapades today felt like Monday. So, today was Meatless Monday Wednesday to make up for it! I combined kidney beans, onions and corn with BBQ sauce and agave to make lazy baked beans.
Served up with a sweet potato and salad with ranch. I dig ranch lately.
Now I’m sipping on tea. I totally hoard TJ’s seasonal teas around Christmas time. But, I’m sad that this is my last box of my favorite flavor 
It’s my personal rule that once all my Christmas tea is gone I can finally put away my Christmas Tree 
Makes sense right?
umpa loompas totally creep me out too. oddly enough, though, the munchkins in wizard of oz don’t phase me…
cute blog! i found you via carrots n’ cake.
cheers,

I am on my last box of that tea too. BOO.
We try to go meatless at least 2-3 nights a week. I tried to go full vegetarian but my son and boyfriend were not super pleased. This is my compromise and it still helps your health/environment some right?
Yes, I’m not full vegetarian anymore, but still think every meatless choice helps 🙂
OMFG, that TJ’s tea is crack-laced! Stupid me only bought 1 (ONE!) box this year… but now I know better. That cart will be chock FULL of lemur tea come November… or October, depending on when it hits the shelves. 😉
I love your lazy baked beans. Mine are even lazier. I think the recipe reads “buy a can of baked beans.” lol
I think the original Willy Wonka movie and the newer Charlie and the Chocolate Factory are both creepy. But the first one is SUPER creepy. But classic.
I didn’t let myself buy a can this time because I have so many cans of “plain” beans, but normally that’s my recipe too 🙂
I love the umpa loompas…in the original that is. The new one was dumb, even Johnny Depp couldn’t save that one. And I saw PB Puffins the other day when I was in Meijer with my friends and literally yelled out Run Eat Repeat! It was the first time I’ve actually seen them in the store….I got a lot of weird looks.
Love that you yelled RER! You’re my favorite 🙂
I am a new follower and I am loving your blog. Do you have a specific recipe you follow for the lazy baked beans?
I kind of just do the lazy baked beans by taste. It’s a big blob of BBQ sauce plus ketchup, agave and hot sauce to taste.
Thank you. It looks delish!
I looove baked beans. I’ve got to give your recipe a try :o)
Mmmm! Peppermint tea. I drink that one year round, as well as ginger tea. Hot teas, no matter what the weather are the best way for me to get my water intake in.
OMG That picture made me laugh but is very scary!
I picked up some up barbara’s peanut butter puffs…bad idea. I’m pretty sure there is small amounts of crack in that stuff cause i can’t stop eating it!! especially with vanilla soy milk…mmmmmm. it’s seriously becoming an issue! 🙂
I know, it’s totally addictive. Too too good.
ha. i totally horded that tea. I think I have 3 boxes of it in my kitchen right now!
Ha! I just finished a cup of ‘Nutcracker Sweet’ Celestial Seasonings tea. I found some at Whole Foods about a month ago and bought a box without hesitation. And now I’m hoping they still have some left because my box is almost empty.
PS–the entire Willy Wonka movie creeps me out…Ooompa loompas, Willy Wonka, Violet Beauregard…all of them!
I stockpile tea like crazy! I think I have 6 or 7 boxes right now. I love it though!!
You have to watch the original, it’s a classic. And yeah, they’re creepy- right up there with the Munchkins from The Wizard of Oz!
Your whole not eating after 8 is really motivating me, by the way. I am so lazy about brushing and flossing no food in my kitchen is really worth redoing it for. Good call!
I stockpile Christmas tea too! I still have boxes of peppermint, eggnog and an apple cider one from Thanksgiving… mmm…. luckily, though, hubby got tired of looking at the Christmas tree in February and hauled it outta here 🙂
I still have some Christmas tea from TJ’s- the peppermint kind! I have a weird hangup about drinking / eating seasonal things when they’re not in season, so my tea is hibernating until December 🙂
There’s nothing like a good cuppa tea!
I actually have that tea in my pantry right now and might have had a glass of it two weeks ago!
